> If the rules for the weekend are the "team decides" you can't just go claiming ownership of stuff you did for the team.

That's a nice opinion. But as you say, it's a "rule". It's not the law.

And the law disagrees with you. If 5 people write code with no legal framework in place (such as a written contract), they each own their individual contributions.

got it re the legal framework.

it would interesting to see something like this tested in court.

Do you know what qualifies as a legal framework when entering a weekend hackathon? Is there a different bar for something like this vs a standard employment situation?
